跟进：La Verne 消防员急救员薪酬附函细节公开：取证后按同级数转级
位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县的 La Verne 市议会 10 月 19 日通过与 La Verne 消防员协会（La Verne Firefighters' Association）的附函协议，本站此前已报道通过消息，协议全文细节现已公开。这份附函为消防员急救员（Firefighter Paramedic）的薪酬争议定下临时安排。
争议源于 2022 年 12 月 19 日签订的劳资备忘录（MOU）：备忘录新设 Firefighter Paramedic 职级，其薪级以 Firefighter 第 5 级薪酬为基准高出 15%。协会主张，消防员取得急救员执照转入新职级应获得约 15% 的加薪；市府则主张转级属晋升，应按备忘录的晋升规则加薪 5%。2026 年 1 月，一名第 5 级消防员完成市府资助的急救员培训后，市府按 5% 规则将其安置在急救员职级第 3 级，争议由此公开。市府强调，现任消防员急救员一直在领薪，无人收入减少。
按附函，市府预计 2027 年初送约 2 名消防员参加急救员培训；参训人员取得执照后，按其原 Firefighter 薪级级数对应转入 Firefighter Paramedic 同级数，薪酬按薪级表执行，其中基准额为 Firefighter 第 5 级年薪的 15%，按 2026 年 9 月 6 日生效的薪级表为每年 17,232 美元；安置若延迟办理，差额按追溯调整补发。据市府通报，协议同时安排向 3 名消防员急救员补发薪酬差额，合计约 37,862 美元，其他时段不另行补发。
附函写明，协议不构成任何一方承认对方对备忘录的解读，也不预设后续谈判结论；急救员薪酬规则留待新一轮劳资谈判（后任 MOU）商定。附函自市议会批准之日起生效，有效期至现行备忘录届满。

Follow-Up: Details of La Verne Firefighter Paramedic Pay Side Letter Released
The La Verne City Council, in Los Angeles County, California, on Oct. 19 approved a side letter agreement with the La Verne Firefighters' Association, as GSM reported earlier; the full details of the agreement have now been released. The side letter sets interim pay rules for firefighter paramedics.
The dispute stems from the memorandum of understanding signed on Dec. 19, 2022, which created the Firefighter Paramedic classification with a salary schedule benchmarked 15% above the Firefighter Step 5 salary. The association argued that a firefighter who earns paramedic certification and moves into the new classification should receive about a 15% raise; the city argued the move is a promotion subject to the MOU's 5% promotion rule. In January 2026, after a Step 5 firefighter completed city-sponsored paramedic school, the city placed him at Firefighter Paramedic Step 3 under the 5% rule, bringing the dispute into the open. The city stresses that its firefighter paramedics have been paid throughout, with no reduction in income.
Under the side letter, the city expects to send about two firefighters to paramedic training in early 2027; once certified, each trainee will move to the same-numbered step in the Firefighter Paramedic classification, paid under the salary schedule, in which the benchmark equals 15% of the Firefighter Step 5 salary, or $17,232 a year under the schedule effective Sept. 6, 2026, with any processing delay corrected by a retroactive pay adjustment. According to the city, the agreement also provides back pay totaling about $37,862 to three firefighter paramedics for the pay difference, with no additional back pay for other periods.
The side letter states that it is not an admission by either party of the other's interpretation of the MOU and does not predetermine successor negotiations; paramedic pay rules will be addressed in bargaining for a successor MOU. It took effect upon City Council ratification and runs through the expiration of the current MOU.
